I am in Texas ... car is in Bahamas. No option but to fix it myself. NOCO Genius 3500 ... "repair mode" supposed to emulate a DC supply at fixed voltage 16V but I a pretty sure it's current limited. Is there any (safe) way to test this mode? In open circuit, you can't put it into this mode. Has...

Thanks. I am assuming we are not talking about a tiny electronic resistor here, the heat would burn it up? that's why I was looking for a common object that might serve as a resistor and take the heat ... and the way I measure them my vise grips have a resistance of about 1. 4 ohms. With the...

The replacement 4 pack showed up today. Each of the 4 cells measures 3.56V. So not dead and no bad cell. I plan to swap out the entire pack, even though only 1 of the cells in my vehicle pack is lagging significantly, and one other is a bit behind. So now about the charging. I am hesitating to...

My RC charger is a "Triton" and it says it charges both Li Ion and Li Po batteries, up to 4 cells (which is nominal 14.8V) 2.5A max charge current. The manual says when set to Li Ion mode, it uses the "constant current/constant voltage" method, ie you set the current and it supplies that up to...

Saga continues. One of the 4 packs in my drive battery is a laggard according to Hobdrive. Cell 41 is at 3.79V when all the others are at 4.1V so it triggers the turtle for the whole pack before one gets very far. Bought a good 4 cell pack and plan to switch out. I read on this forum that one...

there was no miev option in the menu when I downloaded the app. i had to go online and update the models, then there was a 2010 Mitsubishi I-Miev option and that is the one I chose.

2012 miev

I paid for my version, it's not the free demo version.

It will reset some error codes but if the error persists the code will be regenerated. It will NOT initiate smoothing, even though there is a button that portends to do that. And there is a lot of dead wood in the application, variables that come up as zero or some default such as 32F.

Thanks for that. I may have more than one problem. No way to modify bmu variables as I don't have Mut, only hobdrive. BMU may be confused in addition to bad cell

That is helpful thanks. What tools do I need to pull the pack? Am on the proverbial desert island here. Instructions?

For what it's worth, I ran battery down to 0 bars and when the turtle came on the bad cell was down to 3.48V, the rest were still at 4.0V. So it seems that the bmu software sets the charge gauge based on the weakest cell, but controls the charger based on the strongest cell. After two charging...

I didn't mention it earlier but I got these two errors when I first scanned car: P1AE6 EEPROM error P1A51 EEPROM abnormal I cleared them and they did not come back. The other two errors cannot be cleared P1A4B cell voltage abnormal P1A2F cell error And this all happened after aux battery was...

So the problem is the weak cell gets down to 3V pretty quick and the computer then shuts down the car to protect it? Can one short out the bad cell?

Car is in Bahamas .. still don't get why one weak cell will suddenly prevent pack from charging more than 25% though.

Well fast fforward a month, I got set up with hobdrive and took a look at the ECU data. Getting two error codes P1A4B (cell voltage abnormal) and P1A2F (cell error). Charged car up to 3 bars, which is all it will take, and read. voltages. All around 4.1V except one cell is 3.79V. TrIed to...

Got this thing to work, using ONE Link LX, had to download new vehicle profiles to find imiev, and it's really hard to read some of the screens. Does anyone know how to reset the battery management unit end pointa?

I do have an Android phone. Where do I get the other gizmo? I bought a code scanner a few years ago but it never produced anything intelligible. Car charged up to 15 miles/3 bars again today, no real gain vs. Yesterday.

Another small improvement today. But I have a theory: when I put car in storage and disconnected aux, ECU memory saved status as 2.5 bars of charge needed. This is about consistent with my recall. Meanwhile, main self discharges to almost zero over the year plus it was sitting. So now when I...

Yesterday, starting out at 3 bars (actually 2 and a partial which is all the juice it would take) I drove 10 miles and the bars went to zero with one mile of range showing but no tortoise. Today, again starting with 3 bars showing, I did the same 10 miles returning with about a half bar and...
